When we walked into the room, we found Rosalind holding a… creature, crying.
The wolf pup was in a grotesque half–human, half–wolf state–neither human nor wolf.
It was wild–tempered, completely irrational, constantly growling and whimpering.
Draconius stood in the center of the room, his entire body trembling. His fists were clenched tight, consumed by rage.
“Whose spawn is this! This cannot possibly be my bloodline!”
Rosalind lifted her head, tears still streaking her face, but her expression carried a certain cold smile: “Look closely, he has the flame mark on his head–of
course he’s your spawn.”
I followed her pointing finger and could indeed see faint flame patterns on the deformed wolf pup’s forehead, but the mark flickered, as if it might disappear
at any moment.

Draconius completely exploded.
“Blood–tainted bastard!” he roared, the entire room’s temperature spiking. Orange–red flames surged from his body, “I’m going to burn this monster
to death!

Rosalind instantly clutched the wolf pup tighter in her arms, a flash of madness in her eyes: “No! You can’t kill him! He’s our child!
Ours?” Draconius’s flames burned even fiercer, “How could this monster possibly be my bloodline!”
He is yours! Rosalind was practically shrieking, 1 sacrificed so much to bear you the strongest heir, and now you want to kill him?”
Draconius raised his blazing hand toward the deformed wolf pup, flames already licking at the air between them.
In that moment, the wolf pup let out an even more piercing cry.
That sound stabbed through my chest, instantly triggering memories from my past life–my own child’s screams when his soul was torn apart during the moonlight ritual.
“No!” I lunged forward almost instinctively.
Obsidian was faster. A black shadow shield instantly surrounded me and the wolf pup, blocking Draconius’s flame attack.
The servants in the room fled in terror.
Footsteps and whispers came from outside the room. Clearly, this had alarmed more members of the Flame Wolf clan.
Draconius’s father walked to his son’s side, lowering his voice: “Draconius, you need to think this through. According to the mate contract, Rosalind is your partner, this child is theoretically your bloodline heir. If you kill him now—”
“Mate contract?” Draconius’s voice was full of mockery, “She betrayed the sanctity of the contract! This can’t be explained by simple bloodline conflict!”
He turned to Rosalind, the fury in his eyes almost consuming everything: “How many males have you slept with?”
Rosalind clutched the wolf pup tightly, her voice filled with desperation: “I never cheated! I just… just wanted to ensure the birth of the strongest heir!”
“What should we do?” His father frowned.
I was also curious about this answer.
In my past life, I had also done crazy things to ensure pregnancy, but I hadn’t imagined Rosalind was even more desperate and foolish than I thought.
This deformed wolf pup was the price of her greed. She thought she was creating a miracle, but actually destroyed an innocent life.
How tragic and laughable. To compete for what should have been mine, she ended up with this result.
At this moment, Obsidian took out an ancient mirror from his coat.
“The Silver Moon Mirror. Everyone in the room gasped.
“I suggest conducting a bloodline reflection ritual,* Obsidian said, “This way we can completely determine the truth of the bloodline.”

Rosalind’s face instantly turned pale: “No need! This is mine and Draconius’s child, we don’t need any ancient ritual verification!”
Her fear was too obvious.
Draconius sneered: “If you have a clear conscience, why are you afraid of the Moon Goddess’s judgment?”
An hour later, the Flame Wolf clan’s great hall was filled with elders and nobles from various clans.
Moonlight poured into the center of the hall through the roof’s special design, and the Silver Moon Mirror was placed where the moonlight was most concentrated.
Rosalind was forced to sit before the mirror, still holding the constantly struggling deformed wolf pup in her arms. Her face was pale as paper, her eyes full
of fear.
“Begin, Draconius’s voice was ice–cold.
Obsidian began reciting the ancient Moon Goddess incantations. The Silver Moon Mirror gradually emitted a soft glow, which slowly focused on the wolf
pup.
Suddenly, a blinding silver light flashed.
Various marks began appearing on the wolf pup’s forehead–the flame mark was indeed there, but beside it were also storm marks, earth marks… a total of three different wolf clan marks flickering alternately on his forehead.
The great hall instantly fell dead silent.
Then erupted in shocked and angry roars.
“Three marks?”
‘She actually mated with multiple Alphas simultaneously?”
“This is a desecration of the wolf clan contract!”
Obsidian calmly announced the reflection results: “Draconius is indeed one of the fathers, but definitely not the only one.”
The physician present added: “Multiple wolf clan genes conflicting with each other caused permanent atavistic phenomena. This child will never be able to fully transform into human form, nor control his wild nature.”
Watching all this, what rose in my heart wasn’t sympathy, but a kind of tragic irony.
Rosalind had gone this far to seize the inheritance rights.
She must have taken advantage of the full moon night when Alphas from various clans gathered. But why not just choose the one? Why be so greedy?
At this moment, following the Silver Moon Mirror’s guidance, the other two wolf clan Alphas were quickly found and brought into the hall.
They both showed shock and anger when they saw those marks.
The moment I saw Terran, I instantly understood everything. So that’s it, Rosalind hadn’t forgotten her old feelings.
Reborn: The Exiled Alpha’s Queen
Terran was her first love, she thought she could rekindle old romance while enaming pregnancy.
Draconius angrily pointed at Rosalind: You betrayed the wolf clan mate contract!
All eyes turned to Rosalind. She held the deformed wolf pup, her eyes filled with desperate madness.
‘You’re too weak!‘ she screamed, “I just wanted to ensure the birth of a truly powerful heir! You should thank me for creating a fusion bloodline offspring! This child is yours too, isn’t he?”
Her voice became increasingly hysterical: “If you were strong enough, I wouldn’t need to find others! You disappointed me, Draconius! You forced me to do
this!
Do you think I wanted this?” Rosalind clutched the wolf pup tighter, tears mixed with anger, “You’re all pressuring me to give birth, aren’t you!”
‘This is all for our future! For the heir’s glory! Not only are you ungrateful, but you want to kill him?”
Just then, a female voice spoke: “Enough.”
Draconius’s mother emerged from the shadows..
